Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Method and Means to Emphasize and De-emphasize Topology Graphs

Publishing Venue

IBM

Abstract

The more dense a topology view becomes, the more difficult it is to interact and decipher the information that is portrayed by the nodes and/or links. This publication proposes a method whereby topology objects can be de-emphasized by using less detail and graphically 'ghosting' or fading the visual representations. By not completely removing the visual representations of these de-emphasized topology objects the relationships are still maintained and those objects that are important still have visual context.

Method and Means to Emphasize and De -emphasize Topology Graphs

The more dense a topology view becomes, the more difficult it is to interact and decipher the information that is portrayed by the nodes and/or links. This publication proposes a method whereby topology objects can be de-emphasized by using less detail and graphically 'ghosting' or fading the visual representations. By not completely removing the visual representations of these de-emphasized topology objects the relationships are still maintained and those objects that are important still have visual context.

Figure 1 depicts topology objects that have been de-emphasized. For example labels have been removed and the graphical representations have been ghosted by using transparencies. This effect allows a user to easily digest those things that are important at the given time.
